Grim Event (I'm sorry)
Hey 🙂 I've looked on Reddit and through some other questions on here for a solution and have tried a couple things and nothing has worked so far. I'm not sure what I should do ATM. I'm on Xbox (no ...

I don't have the option to expedite my mail for some reason. I also cleared my data as suggested and still nothing ☹️
Is it cause I already completed the Assistant task on that deleted save?
I'll go ahead and hit the "Me too" thing you mentioned as well. thank you for your help 🙂
@Queenbernoski1 Hello, I just had a similar situation, and yesterday I was finally able to replay Week 1 up to Week 4. At first, I was stuck on the Ambrosia Society Newsletter part because the Newsletter didn't show up again at first. I had already received the Newsletter and read it, but then my game crashed before I could claim the Rewards, so I had to replay most of that entire week. In my case, switching to the Willow Creek version of the mailbox worked (buy Willow Creek mailbox first, the mail carrier shows up visible in Build Mode, then delete the other mailbox), but this solution may not work in every situation. @simsplayer818 has been helpful. I will try to help you also. Questions: are you on current gen or last gen XBOX (One)? Do you have (Sims 4 on) any other platforms, such as PS4/5 or PC/Mac? There are different potential solutions in mind depending on the answer. Hopefully your issues can be solved in time to get the Rewards. I learned a lot troubleshooting my own game, with the helpful people here on this forum.
@simsplayer818 I've tried different saves, new worlds, different households and nothing still. In week 1 I have "Assistant to the Grim Reaper" completed and the newsletter is not completed. I have nothing completed in weeks 2 to 5 because I can't redo week 1.
I tried in different households and a new world to see if I could expedite mail, I even turned cheats on and still couldn't do it for some reason. I cleared my local data twice too just to make sure
@Xemisa2World I've deleted and put in the willow creek mailbox down because I read a different thread and tried that first before making my post, still nothing unfortunately. I've even tried other mailboxes and waited for days, still nothing. I'm on the Xbox X/S and I don't have a PS5 or PC sadly.
Thank you both for the help and advice 🙂
@Queenbernoski1it's been reported by many players and EA are aware of it so hopefully they will present a solution to affected players soon. I'd keep track of the bug reports for up to date information.
It shouldn't affect the rest of your game, mine is fine. There's no corruption.
I'm making sure I don't play the event on a lot with any lot challenges or while any calendar events are running. That was what caused my problem, there were 2 events going on and the Reaper Event wouldn't start properly.Edit: so I switched to a different household in the middle of the final week of the event so I'd need to re-request the newsletter so I could get an image of the message this time, see attached. If I'm remembering right I got this but then I also needed to expedite delivery. This time I didn't as it arrived quickly.
I must admit I'm a bit disappointed with the final rewards. I do love the Freezer Boney toys though.
@simsplayer818 I'm glad to know that's what the prompt to expedite shipping looks like, lol.
I'll load my game up in a second and see what's what since week six came out.
Thank you again
Edit: Nothing still. I removed all my expansion packs and tried base game, new world and everything. Nada. Still no prompt to expedite or Grim ask for help. I'll keep looking in the bug reports
